Issy.

Reference please

BTW, How did that last reference I did for you go? Did you get the job at the Pickle Factory? Don't tell me you're still a trainee frankfort skinner after 30 years.

BBTW, nice bottle of scotch from the kids in Sydney for Xmas, been good, haven't opened it. The kids here also gave me a bottle of OP Bundy Rum, it's got 2 drinks left, maybe only one, see how much ice I've got left, no one here likes rum, oh well!

MERRY CHRISTMAD!

Foxy,
Not only Aboriginals do traditional dot paintings and the “experts” can’t tell the fakes, some of which have been sold for high prices
Note that many traditional paintings are done with acrylic paint; see there’s a European benefit right off, no need for a bit of unhygienic blood letting to get a good binder.

Issy,

Without a reference we'll have to present you with another 'Pork Award'. What's that 200 for 2021. You're already a certainty for the 2021 'Gold Porky'.

Paul: Jayb, what is the significance of 1776? Are you a Septic Tank?

Fa Gawd sake someone enlighten him. I can't stop laughing. Failure of the School System.

Foxy: "Australian Indigenous artist Loretta Egan has provided a colourful collection of traditional Aboriginal dot paintings. Known as the oldest ongoing tradition of Art in the world.

Ay? Place: Rum Jungle, Arenamland.
Time: 1926.
Situation: Bored Frenchman whose favourite Painter was Matisse.
Cure: Teach local Aboriginal Aboriginal how to pain in Dots like Matisse.
Result: Aboriginal Dot Painting.

But, I've explained this to you some many time, Foxy. Have you got your ear's on this time? Or, are you just ignoring facts as you normally do.

Foxy: There you go. The traditional Aboriginal dot paintings have influenced others.

Jumped on the Bandwagon you mean.

Foxy: Unfortunately for them though none of their works were presented to Royalty,

Because they knew.

Foxy: sold out for high amounts of money.

Ha ha ha, Painting Snobs, fools. Ay.

Jayb, there is no significance to the year 1776 in an Australian context. Other than the the American colonies were at war with GB and not taking your ancestors anymore. Both the years 1770 and 1788 are of greater significance in the story of Australian colonisation. How about you enlighten me. Typical you had no answer so you try the old diversion trick, someone give him the answer.

The only aboriginal painter I would purchase is Albert Namatjira. He painted in the exact colour he saw, I've seen the same scenes and he captured them perfectly. He did not need dots to create his impressions.
